Hassan Ali Joho you should bring a substantive Motion to this House. You and Sen. Kajwang’ - both of you are out of order. I give you the first warning if you dare mention any state officer by his name without a substantive Motion--- Familiarize yourself with the Standing Orders. Proceed and conclude."

Hassan Ali Joho his flowers that he can be an expert in making sure that bling coming from our natural resources is well tapped. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would love that from the blue economy and our mineral resources, if you are to exploit this, we would not be beggars. The biggest embarrassment for Africa and the southern part of the world was when African Presidents go to the USA and they are demeaned and embarrassed by the American President when they go begging for money, which we could get if we were to tap our critical mineral resources. I hope that in that statement the committee will go deep."

"content": "Thank you, Deputy Speaker, Sir. I want to quickly comment on the area geophysical survey of Kenya mineral resources statement by Sen. Eddy Oketch. There was a conference that was held in Kenya on the 26th and 27th of November 2024, after the aerial geophysical survey was done and which identified 970 mineral occurrences in Kenya. What is surprising is that conference was supposed to attract investment into Kenya after we discovered there are about 970 mineral occurrences in Kenya. What is surprising and what is coming from this statement is that this information has not been put up in the public domain. The purpose for which money was spent on this conference was so that we could attract investment into this country. The Ministry of Mining and Blue Economy released a document saying they spent US$65 million. This is about Kshs7 billion to carry out that aerial geophysical survey between the years 1919 and 2022. So, if public money was expended to the effect that we bring investment, why is the Ministry having a problem with publishing this information? Why should the Cabinet Secretary arrange conferences in 2024 when maybe there are Kenyans who want to invest in that sector? The committee should explore the reasons because maybe there are very many Kenyans ---"

"content": "Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I want to quickly comment on the statement by the Senator for Migori County. He has actually four statements on the matter of mineral mining. Sen. Eddy’s statements are quite heavy and very important because they are actually addressing very fundamental questions in the mining sector in this country. The status of artisanal mining in our counties is something that this House must look at. We have unscrupulous foreigners who have invaded our villages, especially in Western Kenya. We have Chinese, Indians, Nigerians and many other foreigners in the name of mining gold. Many children have left school because they are busy sieving soil looking for gold. Women have left their homes searching for gold? What happens to this gold when they mine it? No one knows where it goes. We have sat in this House and told that Vihiga, Migori and Kakamega counties cannot get mineral royalties because the gold that is mined is not accounted for. So, the Committee on Environment, Land and Natural Resources have an obligation to bring answers to this House as to what exactly happens. All these companies operating are known by the Ministry of Mining and Blue Economy officials, police and county governments. What is happening is illegal trade. That is known to Government officials and they are not ---"
